1 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92425 | ||
Hello Ken hepting, You said: "These are the ones, those who did righteous deeds that the blood Christ will redeem." Christ does not redeem those who do righteous deeds. None do righteous deeds until coming to God by faith (Romans 3). You said: "The Grace of God can't be so narrow as to not include them because they never heard the name of Jesus." Excuse me? What is required to please God? Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. How does on get saved? Romans 10:9-10,13 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved... [13] For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." If belief is required, what is my job? Romans 10:14-15 (ESV) But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [15] And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" And if faith is required to please God, where does it come from? Romans 10:17 (ESV) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Therefore, the gospel must be heard and believed. Steve |

You're not paying attention, Steve. | ||||||
3 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92646 | ||
Hello Ken, To what am I not paying attention? You said that there are those who have not heard the gospel which will be in the book of life. Scripture says you are wrong. Steve |

"To what am I not paying attention? You said that there are those who have not heard the gospel which will be in the book of life. Scripture says you are wrong" __________________________ Sorry but scripture says I'm right. Rev. 20:12 (YLT) and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.... Malachi 3:16 (KJV) Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. ...... .......wondering who He could be maybe and living their lives accordingly? Does that sound like people going to hell? I don't think so. I believe they are those who Jesus redeemed from the grave....and will continue to redeem from the grave. |

5 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | Ken hepting | 92655 | ||
You just might now consider what the preaching of the gospel to be all about if not the telling of the good news concerning the kingdom of God to those who think upon God, live their lives accordingly and desire to know HIM that they become jointheirs with Christ by the KNOWING of God as Jesus knew Him.. That's what evangelism SHOULD BE all about. That's what Jesus explained and Paul taught. Do you really believe 'just saved people' are joint heirs with Christ? |

6 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | srbaegon | 92664 | ||
Hello Ken, Yes, I believe "'just saved people' are joint heirs with Christ." Paul said so. 1 Cor. 3:12-15 (ESV) Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw? [13] each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. [14] If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Steve |

7 | Born into the Kingdom of God? | Luke 16:18 | Ken hepting | 92666 | ||
Say what? What do you mean fire testing my works? What works? You tell me I have to do works to be saved? Build what? Maybe you mean works after I'm saved? Well what works would they be? Will they keep me saved if I do them? Why do I need them if grace is what it is all about? Why should I worry about works if I'm saved anyway? You got alot of questions to answer, my friend. Good Luck. But then again maybe the verses you post are meant for born again folk who know what the kingdom of God is all about; Disciples of Christ. I think so. |

Hello Ken, You ask: "Building what?" Perhaps I should have add verses 10-11 in order to get the context of the paragraph. Paul is refering to building on the foundation of Christ Jesus. We build by the works we do after salvation. No, works will not keep me saved. That's part of 1 Cor 3 that I quoted. If we believe on the Lord Jesus, we will be saved even if we do a poor job in this life. You should worry about works for two reasons. First, because God wants us to do them. Ephes. 2:10 (ESV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Second, because they prove to others the faith we have. James 2:18-20 (ESV) But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe?and shudder! [20] Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Steve |
